Blood test to confirm pregnancy?

[mbear]

Ive had blood tests with all my pregnancies. Providing i got bloods taken b4 midday, i usually would get the results the next day.

Good luck....

OH wow... woohoo how exciting for you and your dh...

your in my boat.. or am i in your lmao.. :P

I tested on fri morning and had a faint faint faint positive, and have had the same every day... but i find it hard to believe but as everyone is saying, a line is a line!!! lol

I saw my GP, yest and she said, test again in a few days and then come back in and we will do the routine tests... with both my bubs i got my BFP by POAS and then went in, they would do a HPT and routine bloods.

SO, sounds like a few different ways our GP's are doing things...

Well you've had a number of faint lines on a couple of brands....If you can see the line at arms length then I would take that as being positive. If you have to squint or move the stick around to see a line then I'd be re-testing or going to the doc for bloods.

Miracles do happen and I hope you've got your miracle!!! All the best sweets

Thanks for all your advice! Congrats Missymoo on your BFP too! We might be buddies in the due in April 08 thread!

Well based on your advice I'm going to hopefully see the Dr this morning and get some blood test organised and hopefully will hear back tomorrow! We are still disbelieving but now have 6 tests all with lines on! DH worked out that the chance of getting a false positive on 6 tests was 2.4 in 1 trillion (assuming they are independant tests if you remember your statistics).

Good luck Ruth! Let us know how you go.

Yay Ruth! Good luck for the BT

I can annouce that it took my Dr less than 1 day to get my BT results. I had the test at 9:30 this morning and she just rang me with the results.... (drum roll please). I am DEFINATELY pregnant! Wooo hooo! Progesterone levels indicate no immediate risk of miscarriage and the HCG is 94 (first week range is 40 to 2000). I am off to the pregnancy annoucement page! Thanks ladies for all your thoughts and best wishes!
